- Lews31 (7/5): - Nice staff. Private bath.
The food was good. Public bath small
No chair in the room
Too expensive compared to other similar hotels
- MENG YIN (9/5): -
- Jance (8/5): -
- Chee Ee (9/5): - The room size and the closeness to get to Kamkochi The tatami mattress can be too hard for a good sleep.
Some selection of the dinner will be helpful.
- gilles (8/5): - Bon établissement pour l’expérience d’un ryokan traditionnel. La chambre était très grande, agréable et l’hôtel à 5mn de la station de bus. »
Accès aux Onsen . Petit dejeuner typique du Japon Il faut aimer!
- hung yeh (9/5): -
- Judith (9/5): - staff was very welcoming and nice, ready to answer any questions we had :) is a traditional and old hotel thats very well maintained. the room was clean, organised and staff also came to clean the room, replaced the towels and onsen clothes as well! accoms near convenience store, restaurants and bus stop to kamikochi too, very convenient. wifi maybe a bit slow sometimes
- Joey (8/5): -
- Rūta (9/5): -
- Margaret (9/5): - It is very close to the bus terminal which is convenient if you intend to take the bus to kamakochi. The half board meals are good and scrumptious. None
- Adrien (8/5): - Excellent établissement pour l’expérience d’un ryokan traditionnel. La chambre était très grande, agréable et l’hôtel à 5mn de la station de bus. Il faut savoir que les futons sont très fins, ce qui rend la nuit inconfortable car on sent le sol. Il n’y a également pas de rideau, donc la lumière passe au lever du soleil.
- Panicha (9/5): ประทับใจ ในบรรยากาศโดยรอบของโรงแรม ความเงียบสงบ คนไม่พลุกพล่าน รู้สึกถึงความเป็นส่วนตัว - ที่พักอยู่ใกล้ สถานี Hirayu Onsen มาก เดินลากกระเป๋าเดิตทางมาแบบสบายๆ ที่พักเงียบสงบ ห้องพักแบบเรียวกัง Japanease style ห้องกว้าง ได้นอนเสื่อ ฟูกญี่ปุ่น พนักงายน่ารัก ยิ้มแย้ม อัธยาศัยดี วิวสวย เสื่อที่พื้นห้อง อาจทำให้มีเศษไม้ของเสื่อ ติดตามกางเกงได้
- Poatjanee (9/5): ประทับใจในการเข้าพักที่นี่กับอาหาร ความสะอาดของที่พัก ความสะดวกในการเข้าพัก การเดินทางไป Kamikochi - >>อาหารเย็นและอาหารเช้าดีมาก ตอนเช้าต้องไป Kamikochi ทางโรงแรม ก็ทำอาหารเช้าให้เร็วขึ้นก่อนเวลา เพื่อเราจะได้เดินทางไปได้เร็ว
>>ที่พักใกล้กับสถานีขึ้นรถบัสไป Kamikochi มาก เมื่อเดินทางไป Kamikochi โรงแรมก็ให้ฝากรถได้ และ ยังฝาก Pudding แช่เย็นไว้กับทางโรงแรม มารับตอนกลับจาก Kamikochi
>>ขากลับจาก Kamikochi ก็มาแช่เท้าคลายเมื่อย ที่บ่อแช่น้ำแร่ Public หน้าโรงแรม ก่อนขับรถต่อไป
>>มีบ่อ Onsen ทั้ง Indoor และ Outdoor ใกล้กัน แม้บ่อจะไม่ได้มีขนาดใหญ่ แต่ก็เหมาะสม กับจำนวนคนเข้าพัก น่าจะมีที่วางรองเท้าเป็นชั้นให้วางด้านข้าง แทนการวางเรียงกันก่อนทางเข้า
- Ornella (10/5): - Beautiful tatami room and very nice small but Beautiful outdoor onsen I did not take the meal option due to fear of fish allergy, it would be great to have vegetarian option
- Rachael (8/5): Close to bus terminal, friendly staff and comfy room. - 5-6min walk to bus terminal, spacious room and our futon beds were made up and ready as we arrived late. Convenient location to visit Kamikochi. Nothing to complain about, didn’t have the meals there so can’t comment.
- Ratchanok (10/5): ชอบมาก ชอบทุกอย่าง รักเลย - ออนเซนดีมาก อาหารอร่อย ที่พักสะอาด ชอบมากค่า ไม่มี
- SIH-SIAN (9/5): -
- Tomasz (10/5): - Good, a little rusty but still well kept place just a few steps from the bus terminal. Very quiet and serene. I really enjoyed the onsen. I really recommend it over more popular places in Hirayu if you value calm atmosphere.
- Piyanuch (9/5): The ryokan is very clean and tidy, with beautiful decorations on each floor. The staff are polite and provide friendly s -
- Phubordin (10/5): -
- Cassandra (10/5): - Beautiful room, great location. Handy little onsen at the hotel
- Laoharavee (10/5): - the owner so friendly. Location super convenient, so easy to go anywhere.
- Anne-Marie (10/5): Xxx - Everything was perfect.
- Vincent Teo (9/5): - Love the big tatami room with private toilet and shower. Hotel Onsen with indoor and outdoor pool. Mattress was not thick enough.
- Robert (10/5): - Es gibt zwei Eigenschaften, die das Hiratakan auszeichnet: ein extrem nettes, hilfsbereiten Besitzer (Ehepaar?) und das Essen ( Frühstück und Abendessen), das weit über dem Durchschnitt liegt.
- Damien (10/5): The kindness of the hosts is the highlight of our stay - The room was spacious and the atmosphere was relaxing. Breakfast and Kaiseki dinner were absolutely amazing and hearthy, with many local products and a different menu for our second day.
- moshe (9/5): -
- Julie (7/5): Good value for a ryokan iexperience in an alpine onsen. - Onsen in ryoken and traditional feel Its in need of a bit of a refurb, but still very nice and genuine.
There were no blinds or means to block the light coming in the room.
- Verdiana (10/5): Bellissima esperienza - Struttura molto carina per un’esperienza local situata in una località incantevole nelle montagne giapponesi. Il proprietario è stato molto gentile nonostante fossimo arrivati un po’ tardi. Parcheggio in loco molto ampio e gratuito
- DANIEL (9/5): -
- Álvaro (10/5): Muy recomendable si quieres vivir una experiencia única. - El Ryokan era excelente. Cuando llegamos el pueblo estaba nevado, lo que le dio un aura aún más bonita. Todas las instalaciones limpias y amplias. Tuvimos una habitación con onsen incluído que fue genial pare relajarnos nada más llegar. Además el onsen público fue estupendo también y contaba con una parte que era al aire libre que, a pesar del frío de los días, se estaba muy cómodamente. Sin duda las aguas termales eran de lo mejor. También dispone de opción de cena tradicional que también fue maravillosa y completa, aunque hay que avisar con antelación. El desayuno también completo, no le faltaba de nada. Además nos proporcionaron yukatas muy cómodos y adaptados a nuestra altura.
- Patricia (8/5): Nice and comfortable ryokan - Spacious room, amazing dinner and breakfast. Obliging and helpful staff. Dated rooms but clean, nice view and very peaceful. Tatami bed too hard and only one soft pillow. Steps to the onsen v steep and narrow. V traditional onsen but old.

- ハシ (8/5): 観光地から少し遠いが、とても、ゆっくり出来た - 夕食、朝食共に、料理のボリュームが有り、美味しいです。
A5ランクの飛騨牛が、ついており、
柔らかく旨味もあったので、とても満足出来ました。
朝食バイキングでは、有りませんが、和食にパンや、ハチミツも有りました。名前だけ有名なホテルより、とても満足できる内容です。
アットホームな雰囲気です。
お隣の部屋も、いらっしゃいましたが、音漏れ声漏れも、分かりませんでした。
温泉の質が良く、家内もとても良い肌触りに喜んでいました。
土産物店や、待合室の有る、とても大きいバス乗り場から3分掛からず,とても近い。
ファミリー向けのスキー場も、歩いて行ける。 家族風呂の湯温が、うまく設定出来ていなかった様で、とても熱かった。
- BC (9/5): - The room is big and comfortable. The private bath is great.

- 田中 (8/5): 満足です - 温泉が気持ち良かった 寒かった
- Tomomi (5/5): -
- CG (8/5): It is a good experience at a traditional Japanese stay with onsen path, tatami &signature breakfast - Full set of Japanese breakfast. Delicious. More friendly staff.
- HSIUJOU (8/5): - 旅館氛圍好、接待人員親切,能提供所需要的資訊,榻榻米床很舒服。第二天早餐預備得十分用心、服務周到。 我住的那一間門不好關,走廊瀰漫醬油味,進旅館大門需要換的室內拖size不大,不太適合男士穿。check in時,接待人員忘了告訴我早餐時間是7:30-8:00,第二天早上等我們下去時,已經過了早餐時間,就沒吃到早餐了。

- Quynh (10/5): -
- AIKATERINI (10/5): - Everything! The onsen in the room was magical! The kimonos that were in the room for us to use were gorgeous! Really brought the Japanese experience up! The breakfast was between 7.30-8 and it was too strong flavours to taste that early
- Hao (8/5): - 位置优越,早餐会每天调整 设施有点老

- CHANG-TAI (9/5): - 空間大,乾淨寬敞
- Naoya (8/5): - 食事が美味しくて良かった。
- Andrew (9/5): Historic onsen central location for exploring the high Alps - Greatly enjoyed our stay.
Historic onsen, in the same family for 3-4 generations. It feels like the 70s in a good way! Slippers provided at Check in.
Large rooms, well provisioned. Excellent natural onsen baths.
Delicious kaiseki dinner and breakfast meals, including "famous Hida beef" and many others.
It's a great location for exploring up the valley to the Shiratone (? maybe misspelled) Ropeway and other locations in the Alps.
It's very good value, there are some more expensive onsens, but we think this one has everything Nothing comes to mind
- Wachirawit (7/5): - Japanese style room. Old but clean There is no staff stand by at reception. Have been ringing the bell waiting for 30 min till someone come. Hotel and its facility is quite old and strongly need a renovation.
- Graham (8/5): Very good - The friendly and helpful arrival meeting with the owner.
- 篤 (8/5): このお宿は又利用したいです。 - 日本の連騰的な和風旅館です。料理良し、サービス良し、温泉良し、
私たち夫婦はほぼ毎月国内旅行をしていますが、この宿はおすすめです。 考えても、良くなかった所は無いです。

- seksan (10/5): -
- Ng (9/5): -
- Hasier (9/5): -
- LH (9/5): Recommend. - We had half-board and the food served was superb. The room was spacious to fit 5-6pax. We also enjoyed the quiet time spent at the in-house onsen. The interior of the hotel was dated, which you could tell from the colour of the carpet floor around the hotel.
- Vichaya (7/5): Fair hotel in Hirayu onsen. - Food is excellent both dinner and breakfast.
Very friendly staffs.
Large room Public bath is very narrow, less facilities.
Many steps to go to public bath and restaurant, inconvenient for senior person.
Less amenities in room and public bath, not enough.
Have to change your shoes at the lobby.
- CHIEN HUI (10/5): - 1.離平湯巴士總站非常近
2.房間寬敞整潔 樓上/下開和室門會有點大聲
- Marion (9/5): Très belle chambre typique - Ryokan typique décoré avec soin, on s’imprègne de la culture japonaise. Chambre très propre, couette très agréable, gâteaux avec le thé bons, l’habit traditionnel très agréable à porter Le thé mais c’est une question de goût. Première fois sur un futon et ça fait un peu mal au dos mais l’expérience a été géniale.
- Lourdes (10/5): - La habitación super perfecta. El orden público muy agradable.
La cena y el desayuno son imponentes
El personal muy agradable Nada
- Matthias (9/5): -
- Manuela (10/5): Good - Very centrally located - nice staff and onzen Nothing
- Jeanne Juquelier (10/5): Super onsen (dont un privé à faire en couple) - Le onsen privé intérieur et le onsen publique (exterieur et intérieur). L'amabilité du personnel. L'accessibilité à pied des environs.
- DT (4/5): Sufficient - Cozy 80s ryokan, friendly staff, tried their best to speak english, decent onsen Honestly this is more of b***ing.coms fault, this is a budget, family run ryokan, in need of renovation and slightly understaffed, the site marked it as 4 stars but its more of a 2 star which is extremely deceptive (google rates as 3 star)
Staff is also unable to effectively communicate through the b***ing.com interface and did not reply to messages well in advance
- Elsie (7/5): Overall glad to stay in Hirtakan as were treated well. - Though there is always nobody at the counter however once you ring the bell, the person in-charge will be out in seconds!
Most of their staffs are of senior age. Good thing is one elderly man can speak English! The onsen room we stayed, its main door is noisy when opening n closing it.
- Kunnapat (7/5): - ให้พนักงานเก็บที่นอนแบบเสื่อทามิ ก่อนเช็คเอ้าท์ คือช่วงที่เรากินข้าวเช้า ตกใจกลับที่ห้อง มีคนเข้ามาเก็บ
- Nicolas SAUZET (10/5): - La chambre était très grande, possibilité de séparer le salon de la chambre. Bien placé dans le village pour sortir et rejoindre la gare de bus.
Les onsens présents dans l'hôtel sont tops ! Il y a un bain commun intérieur et extérieur non mixte et un bain intérieur privé !
- やっさん (7/5): リーズナブルで、良かった。 - 温泉が良かった 有りません
- Daniela (10/5): Schöner, erholsamer Aufenthalt mit Hotel in guten Lage. - Zimmer war sehr geräumig, privater Onsen sowie Gemeinschafts Onsen (getrennt nach Geschlechter), traditionelles leckeres Frühstück, flexibler Check In Gib keine schlechten Punkte
- Yukiko (10/5): 大満足でした。 - 平湯バスターミナルに近く、アクセス抜群
お布団もふかふかで、お風呂も体の芯まで温まって、ゆーっくりできます
朝ごはんも品数多く、お米もパンもとても美味しいです 朝ごはんの提供が7時からでしたので、問題はありませんでしたが、あと1時間ほど早くてもありがたいかなぁと思いました
- WEN CHIEN (9/5): -
- Quan Thai (10/5): - Spotlessly clean ryokan with nice staff. Great value for a single traveler with private bathroom and a little fridge. Nothing
- Masaaki (8/5): -
- Kanko Kame (10/5): - The host was extremely friendly.
- Junko (9/5): Great Family-Owned Japanese-Style Inn! - 1. The owner and staff were outstanding. Very polite, prompt, caring, and genuine.
2. Dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious, especially the grilled Hida Beef and sashimi made from the rare local fish. Highly recommended.
3. It was easy to find with Google Map and had free parking nearby.
4. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I was prompted by booking.com to pay extra to upgrade to the room with AC. I called the hotel and learned that they had AC in the room without upgrading. For everyone’s awareness and planning purposes:
1. When we arrived at around 2:30 pm, the ryokan was dark and there was no one at the front lobby. They open at 3 pm so I suggest you get there after 3 pm.
2. Onsen itself was great. It’s a natural and constant-flow onsen, no circulating of the water. I believe others have commented this too but some spots may be visible from the nearby buildings.

- Teeny (10/5): Best stay in Japan! :) - The location was excellent! Just beside the bus terminal where we took the bus to Kamikochi, and a great restaurant within 5 min walking distance and a souvenir store which sells sake and snacks just 1 min walk away!
This family-run Inn was just the perfect way to end our Japan trip! The owner and staff were warm, hospitable, and friendly and you could tell they all took so much pride in their work - from the way they arranged the slippers for guests, to the way they made your bed, to the way they folded the yukatas they provided for your stay.
The room was so spacious and we loved the onsen! We will definitely be back for your lovely hotel and the gorgeous local sake! :) Nothing at all! Loved everything!!! If they provided me with a bolster, that would be my favourite hotel in the world! :)
